Um, the frame of reference is obviously earth. So the statements about how long something took to occur are actually meaningful, in "laymen" terms or otherwise.
While the article you link to is an interesting introduction to time, relativity, and frame of references, it has very little bearing on the thread.
This is likely to be about XPS, the Microsoft XML Paper Specification, Microsoft's PS/PDF successor. I'd guess that Kyocera has written an XPS implementation for Linux, and wants to deploy it to support uses printing directly from XPS-enabled software. An open source XPS implementation was written within a few weeks of the release of the XPS spec -- maybe they're even just shipping that: http://www.ndesk.org/Xps
The spec is freely available, but the introductory paragraphs in the spec suggest that implementing it without licenses is not permitted.
